Were you following the Rio 2016 Olympic games?

No. I didn't watch any of it. I think the negative news about the crime in Rio put me off.

Each time the olympics rolls around I tell myself I should watch it and cheer on Australia. However I usually don't. Sometimes when flicking channels I might come across it and look at what sport is being played. When I did this, I never came across Australia playing anything. If there was a timetable when Australia played I might show more interest. It would have to be on at a reasonable time as well.

I found the Olympics to be quite interesting. I got to view unfamiliar sporting activities such as archery, Synchronized swimming, shooting and judo.

In addition, it was nail biting to witness the athletes from my country both dropping out and proceeding to final rounds of the competitions.

I almost feel like I did something wrong. I think I watched one swimming race...

by Vee

Nope.
No interest at all.
Boring as bats@&$......

by donjo

Amen to that.

Boring, boring, boring. I was so sick of seeing the same thing televised about a half dozen times on the 7 channels I pretty much watched chanel 94 most of the time. I wonder just how much coverage will be given to the disabled olympics which I prefer to watch but to date it has always been pretty limited coverage so wake up TV execs and show more support for these athletes.

No, I'm not really into sport. I was sorry to hear that the jaguar from the opening ceremony was shot dead though. They shouldn't use animals for entertainment like that.

No, I'm not into sport watching either, but we did watch the highlights every morning, & different ones in the late afternoons. I wish the announcers would stop saying, they're going to win ALL these models, & they come home with less than they won at the London games, & the less amount since ...way back!!! The Para-Olympic team is a much smaller team, & they bring home HEAPS more medals, every time.
